The whole idea of Frontline is that it kills them as soon as they start s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g blood---they remain attached. The good thing is that they don't drop off the dog and find their way onto you before they attach.

Frontline and my dog..do not get along...
know of a few other dogs that can't tolerate it either.. especially those prone to seizures.
I do use the topical Revolution, for Heartworm as well, also have a Prevent-tic collar on her, similar, the ticks that do "bite in" die and fall off, if I don't find them first.... covers her needs most of the time.. when the ticks bloom like they have with the warmer days.. a misting of the Adam's works like magic.. they do not even get on her at all..
Adam's has a bit of an aromoa to it, not unpleasant, but def. chemical..
and works like a charm
